root, root, root for the home team

Presley started 5/6 year old tball and is an official member of the Burns Park Athletics team. Our schedule has been thrown a major loop with multiple practices and games each week (who's idea was this, oh yeah, mine.). We had our first game last Thursday and it was a lot of fun. There's just something about being out at the ballpark, sitting on metal bleachers, eating concession food, cheering for your team. There's just something about watching kids experiencing the trill of a first hit or catch while games go on way past their bedtimes. There's just something about dirty uniforms and mud on the floor mats of your car. There's just something about baseball. Even though I played one measly season of softball (I am not a huge fan of actually playing competitive sports), I have always love the sights and smells associated with the game. I am so happy that Presley seems to be enjoying this experience. You never know, she might be the one to follow in Jon's baseball cleatsteps.


 Go A's!

Presley and Sophie.
Sophie's mom and I have been best friends since High School.
 


Go #4!

 
We won the game!
 
 
It's hard to tell from this picture, but her nose is filthy.
How does one manage to get their nose dirty?
